Default Testing a CDI

Well it's been a while since I've been on the forum.
My 2014 GasGas XC300 quit running at the Zink Ranch NEPG at the end of the last test section back in 2016.
She's been sitting in my garage torn apart ever since (racing a Husky 4T now).

I suspect my CDI. A number of months prior to Zink I was having intermittent spark issues - bending some of the connectors to make a firmer contact seemed to fix the problem and I ran for a good while after that.

I can confirm that I am not getting a spark (I have an inline light that flashes when a spark signal is sent).

I don't know how to test this CDI, and I'm 0 for 3 on the US distributors of the JDRacing Ignition CDI on my bike. Two of them are disconnected numbers and the third guy no longer works with JDRacing.

Would someone on the forum be willing to plug my CDI into their bike (making sure it is compatible of course) and try it out? I would pay for shipping to and from of course. I know this is a PITA request, but I'm at a loss on how to get the old gal running, and don't really want to buy a a new CDI ($400) unless I know for sure that is the problem.
